West Side Story (2021)

Manhattan, Upper West Side 1957. Two rival gangs, the Riff’s Jets (tough) and Bernardo’s Puerto Rican Sharks (swaggering), fight for dominance against the San Juan Hill’s decaying tenements and constant threat from the wrecking ball. With a winner-takes all rumble in the cards, a surprising romance between Tony, formerly gangster Jet, and Bernardo, his delicate little sister Maria, sets the scene for sprangling a turf war. What’s a gang if it doesn’t have its territory? When the future looks uncertain, how can you hope for love when it’s not? –Nick Riganas
